Bungie revealed Destiny 2‘s Year of Prophecy: two paid expansions and two big free updates, with all seasonal activities open to every player. The new Fate Saga begins on July 15 with The Edge of Fate.
The Edge of Fate
The expansion takes place on Kepler, an exploration-focused destination where the Nine play a central role. Dark matter energy powers new abilities, such as Matterspark (shapeshifting and slipping through tight spaces), the Relocator Cannon and Mattermorph. Pre-orders have three tiers: The Edge of Fate itself, the Year of Prophecy Edition (includes Renegades, a new dungeon and extra passes) and the Ultimate, with the exotic sniper rifle New Land Beyond, among other items.
Changes for everyone on July 15
The “Portal” activity selector, Solo Ops activities, fifty new modifiers and a reworked armor system arrive, with set bonuses, revised stats and armor that starts with full energy.
Renegades
The second expansion, Renegades, arrives on December 2, 2025 and is inspired by Star Wars. “We want to break our past formulas and deliver something unique,” said Justin Truman, Destiny vice president. Meanwhile, the Rite of the Nine event is already live with the Prophecy, Spire of the Watcher and Ghosts of the Deep dungeons, and a Displate by artist Gabriel Flauzino among the Bungie Rewards.
Our take
Armor that starts with full energy and set bonuses sound like subtle changes on paper, but they affect all of the build math. The Star Wars crossover will steal the headlines, but the overhaul of the systems is what decides whether the year works.
